Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Oh, what [D]you feel![G][D]
[G]It was a wil[D]dcat of a hot night
The stars were rippin' holes in the sky
The crickets in the thicket clicked
quicker every minute
Poppin' like a fourth of Ju[F]ly
[G]On a tal[D]l paint pony in
a bolt of white light
Rode a fire- eyed medicine man
He said, "My name is Jerome
And you're standin' in my home"
Haunting was a song that he sang
[G]He said, "The

[Verse 2]
[C]salt from my tears
made a [D]mountain so high
The [C]moon had to jump to get [D]over
I was [C]cheated and beat but I [D]never denied
[G]The sun's my daddy and the
[D]earth is my [A]mama
[C]Wanderin' ghosts,
you made my [D]tribe and my bride
Their [C]prayers filled my
ears as they [D]fell
Then you [A]drug me through the
gutter 'till it hurt like [G]hell
But [C]if you think I look bad
Baby, better check out your[D]self

[Verse 3]
[D]
[G]He said, "Your [D]bad dreams
spinnin' in my mama's head
You strapped the foul- breathed
wolf to her back
You ride a steel horse,
racin' toward a rainbow's end
While her seas and her rivers run black"
[G]He said [D]"Look what you done
to her native son
Buddy, look what you did to
her skies
You trap her power and her glory
in your company funds
But your prophets only make me cry"
[G]He said,

[Verse 4]
[C]"Th[D]e moon[C]
had to jump to get [D]over
I was [C]cheated and beat but I [D]never denied
[G]The sun's my daddy and the
[D]earth is my [A]mama
[C]Wanderin' ghosts,
you made my [D]tribe and my bride
Their [C]prayers filled my
ears as they [D]fell
Then you [A]drug me through the
gutter 'till it hurt like [G]hell
But [C]if you think I look bad
Baby, better check out your
[D]self" now

[Verse 5]
What you feel!
[D]
He said, "Boy,
can't you see that you're part of the planet
No less or more than the sea or the granite
She tries to give you all her love
Still you just want to ride [G]her
[D]What will you give for your
last cup of water
What kind of price will you
put on your brother
What are the secrets of
your soul she's keeping
Deep down inside her
Unless you really want to know,
don't ask Geronimo
Unless you really want to know,

[Outro 1]
don't ask Geronimo...
